- Performance Highlights
EBECRYL®450 is characterized by:
- Rheology suited for lithographic inks
- Fast cure response
- Good pigment wetting
- Good lithographic behavior
UV/EB cured products containing EBECRYL®450 are characterized by the following performance properties:
- High abrasion resistance
- Good hardness
- Good solvent resistance
The actual properties of UV/EB cured products also depend on the selection of other formulation components such as reactive diluents, additives and photoinitiators.

- Viscosity Reduction
GRAPH I:EBECRYL®450 - VISCOSITY REDUCTION WITH REACTIVE DILUENTS
GRAPH II:EBECRYL®450 - VISCOSITY VS. TEMPERATURE
- EBECRYL®450
- Graph I show the viscosity reduction of EBECRYL 450 with the reactive diluents EBECRYL 40(1), EBECRYL 140¹ (ditrimethylolpropane tetraacrylate), EBECRYL 150¹ (ethoxylated bisphenol A diacrylate), and OTA-480.
- Although viscosity reduction can be achieved with non-reactive solvents, reactive diluents are preferred because they are essentially 100 percent converted during UV/EB exposure to form a part of the coating or ink, thus avoiding solvent emissions.
- The specific reactive diluents used will influence performance properties such as hardness and flexibility.
- Graph II illustrates the change in viscosity of EBECRYL 450 with increasing temperature.
